We’re always seeking volunteers to participate in our research.
Benefits usually include assessment of body composition via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), measurement of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), an exercise stress test, determination of resting metabolic rate, and/or blood chemistry analysis.
Financial compensation in return for participation is available for most protocols.
All of our studies are approved by the Institutional Review Board at Colorado State University.
